Hello, I continue to get a "batteries depleted": message after a few minutes even after I install new AA lithium batteries. Can you suggest anything to assist me?

Battery door replacement how to?
The battery door on my Nikon Coolpix L5 doesn't stay closed anymore because a little piece broke off when I dropped the camera. I can get a new battery door cover but how do I uninstall the old one and install the new one? It looks like it wouldn't be hard but I am afraid to force anything. Thanks for your help.

I have tried all of the suggested items even changing the batteries to the new Energizer Lithium batteries and I still have a dead camera. Do you have any more suggestions that I may try? Thank You

It sounds as if you are addressing a specific person with this problem have you chatted with someone about this problem before? No matter I guess. New rechargeable batteries "normally" require recharging when you first buy them for about 2 hours some ...

Hi.Err means that the camera is in fault mode. There is no code, so that the fault is generic. This kind of error is often associated with shutter problems or other loens error. If you have a spare lens, remove battery and test the spare ...

I have a Kodak dx4530 digital camera; I removed the supplied battery pack and installed AA lithium batteries; the camera worked fine with the factory pack but won't turn on with the new batteries- completely dead. Any ideas? Thanks!

Battery? My sister got my Sony Cybershot wet...not submerged or anything...just wet. At first I thought it was broken b/c it would not turn on but I plugged it into the wall charger and it turns on just fine and takes pictures and everything..but the second you disconnect the wall charger from the camera it turns off...no juice at all. I'm wondering if I should waste money on a battery or just buy a new camera. Any suggestions? Could it possibly just be the battery?

Hi, You have to change the bettery but also check that the board from which bettery pass the supply it could also be short due to water.In this case it is not necessary that battery could be damaged. Thanks a ...

My sx20is is less then one year old. I have a message stating the batteries need charging. Regardless wether I charge the batteries or install new batteries I keep getting the same message and the camera shuts down instantly. Any Suggestions? Thanks. Arne

Your battery terminals inside the camera might be dirty. Clean them good with a qtip and isopropyl alcohol, and make sure they're clean. Otherwise, you have a more difficult problem and the unit will have to be troubleshot (and disassembled). H ...

Installed new batteries and the camera will not turn on. The camera has been sitting up for 6 mo. with no use. We used energizer lithium batteries.

When I turn my camera on I only see a dark blue and black image with white lines running through it--could I have damaged something or have I messed up my settings? I can look at previous pictures taken, they look fine, I just can't figure out why I can't see anything through the view finder or LCD monitor in order to take new pics. i have been reading through the manual, tried new batteries (regular AA)--any suggestions?

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager, and is a known defect for your particular model camera.. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free if you live in the US, Canada, and a select few other countries. If you live outside the US, ...

My Finepix S1500 digital camera won't turn on. I have replaced the batteries with new lithium batteries, cleaned the terminals with a cleaning cloth and it still won't turn on. The camera is only seven months old. Is there anything else I can try?

I have a Kodak Easyshare CX7430 model digital camera. Even after installing new batteries, the low battery light lights up and the power only lasts for about 2 minutes or less. Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

Hi,Please check the contacts inside the camera and clean them if the problem persist then there must be something short inside the camera and that's why the battery is discharging so fast. ...

Unable to see anything through the eye piece or on the lcd. I can point to something and flash will go and it will sound like it took a picture but unable to see anything. Lens don't turn either for focusing. Just bought a new battery and charged fully but to no avail. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!If it shows the menu, it could be CCD problem. This is a well known problem with the A1. You should contact your local Konica-Minolta (Sony) service center and see if they can change the CCD for free as they were factory fault, if I remember ...

After installing 2 new AA 1.5 v lithium batteries my camera will not turn on

My camera will not turn on i have tried new batteries and i just don't know what else i should do before i take it in to someone to try and fix. is there anything you can suggest that may be helpful thank you

I cannot get it to turn on. Is there a way to reset it or do i need a new lithium battery. any suggestion would help.

1st you need to determine if you have a power problem or something more serious. Put in a new or known working lithium battery that is rated for your camera. This should let you know if the problem is other that no power. If camera still does not t ...

We have a CoolPix L3 that is not very old nor has it been used (and or misused); perhaps 14 months old. Serial No.
30649827. The telescoping lens has tended to get stuck in a closed position. After installing FRESH new batteries, I gently tapped the camera body against my other hand and the lens opened but continued to move in and out. Sometimes it would stay open but not at its maximum position. Furthermore a message was displayed; LENS ERROR.What do you suggest we do. Is it repairable?

The lens has to be unlocked, thereby meanig that we need physically open the camera and check the three rollers which control the lens movement inside the camera. ...

I have a kodak easyshare cx6330. It won't do anything. I've put new batteries in it and tried numerous things to no avail. If I set it on charger base I only get one light on the bar and it stays that way. any suggestions?

Your problem may be due to corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera\015\012which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the\015\012camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wip ...

My Kodak EasyShare z1275 eats batteries! I install new ones and they last for approximately an hour or about 30 pictures. I don't review pics or do anything extra. Help?!

Not with this particular model... the Z1275 is just a battery hog. It eats alkaline AA's quickly - about 25-35 pics is average for mine (@ the 12MP max setting). A set of NiMh rechargeable batts will help immensely. I can usually get over 100 picture ...

New sd card will not allow me to select format. Wanting to install new SD card. Removed current 1GB card and installed new 4GB. Then went to format and it doesn't seem to reconize the new card. It states "Memoray card error" but I tried two new cards with same result. It sees the old card just fine. suggestions on how to format the new card or is it the camera.

This camera was manufactured before the SDHC protocol was developed for SD cards. A 'standard' SD card protocol is 2GB maximum, and that is what the camera is compatible with. I'm pretty sure the cards you are trying to use say SDHC on them, right? ...
